THE TITLE character in The Little Prince may be small, but he has had plenty of big adventures.

When a pilot crash lands in the middle of the Sahara Desert he meets a little prince.

But this is no ordinary royal - the boy is on a quest from another world.

This beautiful, funny and philosophical story is told using masks, music and puppetry.

Audiences will be taken on a fantastic journey as the Little Prince tells poetical and magical stories about his tiny home planet and how he made his way to earth.

The play opens The Point in Eastleigh's spring season this evening and is brought to the stage by the Oxfordshire Touring theatre Company, who have joined forces with one of the country's leading mask theatre companies, Trading Faces.

The show starts at 6pm. Tickets cost £4.50. Box office: 023 8062 7802.
